About Michael Scott Overholt

You’re either:(1) Short on time to generate warm leads through LinkedIn… OR (2) Putting in the time, but still not seeing meaningful engagement or booked calls. Either way, you’re likely stuck in one of the common false starts. Here’s why most smart, capable professionals stay busy, visible, and broke on LinkedIn: They’re doing the wrong things. → Reposting generic content. Liking without connecting. Pitching without warming the lead. They misunderstand the platform. → LinkedIn isn’t just a content channel—it’s a curated ecosystem of relationships and conversations. They don’t know how to sell themselves. → They’re credible but invisible, unsure how to talk about what they do in a way that builds trust and drives action. This is where I come in. I help companies build sales-ready LinkedIn ecosystems using a strategy called Selling on Socials—a high-trust, human-centered approach to content, connection, and conversation. Here’s what we’ll do together: 1. Curate Your Audience ↳ We’ll identify your warmest leads, clarify your ICP, and organize your network into something that’s actually actionable. Design the Right Kinds of Engagement ↳ We’ll move past “likes” and “visibility” and create content that drives meaningful interaction—through live events, thought leadership, and comments worth reading. Move Conversations Off-Platform ↳ We’ll turn passive viewers into active prospects, with messaging sequences and follow-up systems designed to build trust and book calls. My background as a teacher and my love of philosophy shape how I work: I listen for the real pain points your customers feel. I guide your team to speak in your buyer’s voice—not just the brand voice. I build processes that are creative, scalable, and ridiculously practical. And the PhD? That just means I ask lots of questions and think strategically. I architect the systems that turn it into revenue. If your team is ready to stop posting and hoping and start connecting and converting, let’s talk. 84••••••07 m••••••@anabasisllc.com Schedule your consultation: https://calendly.com/michaelscottoverholtphd/chat
